The Sweet Life
Directed by Rob Spera
Produced by Mockingbird Pictures
A darkly comedic romance built on two despondent strangers bonding over shared hopelessness, using morbid humor and unconventional connection to explore meaning and belonging.
Kenny is an ice cream vendor in Chicago with a crisp white uniform and an apathetic heart. When he encounters Lolita, a sharp-tongued but despondent insurance actuary, their heated conversation, natural spark and mutual hopelessness lead to an unusual proposal for a meet-cute: to travel to San Francisco, where they will jump off the Golden Gate Bridge together.
